"We're sitting on undoubtedly the biggest resource on trans lives and trans health in Canada," says Greta Bauer, lead investigator with the Trans Pulse survey, which surveyed more than 400 trans people in Ontario.

This first bulletin covers basic trans demographics in Ontario. In addition to highlighting the great diversity among trans people in terms of ethnic background, age, parenting status and other areas, it points out that an estimated 68 percent of trans people in Ontario do not live in metropolitan Toronto — "which really highlights the need for trans-appropriate services outside Toronto," says Bauer.

The bulletin also provides some sobering numbers.

If you're underemployed or unemployed, raise your hand...

*raises hand*.

Even though I tell my job network that people judge me and say things like "we don't hire sissys*. they still think it's me and then make me do pointless time wasting activities like reading BS articles about job interview skills and resume building.

Swept under the carpet or thrown in the too-hard basket ...take your pick.
